Yes. When he said that about his degree it reminded me of Machado De Assis. In Epitaph of a Small Winner the character says something like "University wasn't a complete waste of time. I got 3 lines from Virgil and 2 lines from Horace which I can remember for the rest of my life".

It’s even more fun when you have to walk your ancient professor through how to work with all these programs.. It’s kinda annoying but I also feel so bad for all of them, they just got thrown into the deep end.. Honestly schools should give their teachers like an I.T.101 instead of just expecting them to figure everything out themselves at their age..

Jeez, you naming all Shakespeare’s plays in chronological order was hella impressive.. I’m not even sure I could do that with marvel cinematic universe...
Yelling "a tale of two cities" at the screen was an adventure 😂 Thank goodness you worked it out 😂
The "subscribe to be able to say you were here from day one" really got me
Jack saying ''that's aaaabsolutely fine'' is me everyday in real life lol
“Look at Homer out here like Beyoncé- now’s not the time.”
I love that I'm in Biology major, I should write my thesis about molecular biological analysis of viruses in a completely different language bc I'm Hungarian and I live there yet I binge-watch your videos about English literature. Procrastination at its finest
I'm so in for more of Jack in the internet.
Was shouting at the screen for outlander and Lotr questions but hey I couldn’t name all of Shakespeare’s plays 😅
'A long term investment into being good at pub quizzes.' I'm in stitches 😂😂
The channel i didn't know i needed until now. I'm so excited!
okay this channel is the best thing about 2021 so far! sooo excited for all the content Jack ☺️
Love how he did the Shakespeare plays chronologically, found out he didn't have to, and then was able to do the next four in order anyway!
as if i didnt just the other day thought about how i don't have enough content of you IM LIVING
"look at homer there like beyonce" 😂😂😂
“felt like Zoella saying that😭”
Loved this Jack!! Chatty and fun, really cheered me up in these not so fun times😅❤️
This was actually way more entertaining than I expected and I would love to see another video like this.
love the chilled vibes of the channel already, jack just seems so much happier aha
Jack: lists all the plays written by Shakespear except for one Me, who had to memorize the entire "A pound of flesh" monologue for my English class in HS: * screams at the screen * YOU HAVEN'T WRITTEN MERCHANT OF VENICE YET! THAT HAS TO BE MERCHANT OF VENICE
this channel is everything i needed and more
I am obsessed with your videos... WHY DO YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN THINGS SO WELL!?
loving this channel so far
I can’t believe you named all the Shakespeare plays! I literally handed in my Shakespeare coursework last week and I only got 31/38! 😅Also, this is probably a stupid question but what order were you naming them in- like the order in the first folio? Because it wasn’t date order and I was so confused 😆 loving this new channel already btw!
I loved watching this, can’t wait for part 2.
I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED FOR THIS CHANNEL
OMGGG Im so excited for this channel!!!
